The Grammys will return tonight, with “the biggest night in music” taking place in Las Vegas after suffering pandemic delays. The 64th annual ceremony will be hosted by The Daily Show presenter Trevor Noah at the 17,000-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena and feature an array of live performances and surprise guests.
The event was originally scheduled to take place on January 31 in Los Angeles but was postponed as the Omicron variant spread in the US. Multi-genre performer Jon Batiste has the most nominations with 11 but faces competition from the likes of Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
Elsewhere, The Weeknd claimed three nominations despite saying last year he would not allow his label to submit his music in protest at the event’s controversial voting system. In response to widespread criticism, the Recording Academy has made several major changes to the awards process, including the removal of controversial review committees.
